Chapter 417: The Shield of the Trapped Camp The Heel of the Euphorbia

It is said that after Yan Liang received Yuan Shang's general order, he led 20,000 Jizhou soldiers and horses to return to Yecheng non-stop. Not only because Yan Liang's family is in Yecheng, but more importantly, Yan Liang attributed the death of Wen Chou and Yuan Shao to the sins of the Nanyang Army, and he dreamed of revenge!

"General, ten miles ahead, I found the Nanyang Army blocking the way!" Yan Liang was immediately thinking about it, and a spy came back to report.

Yan Liang looked around and asked, "How far is it from Yecheng here?" What is the number of enemy troops? ”

The spy replied: "This place is still a hundred miles away from Yecheng, and the enemy is about 5,000. ”

Yan Liang asked again: "Have you ever investigated the surroundings, is there an ambush for the enemy?" ”

Spy: "Confirm that there are no enemy ambushes within a radius of five miles!" ”

"Hmm...... In this way, these 5,000 people are the first line of defense of the Nanyang Army to prevent our army's surprise attack? Yan conscience said.

"Inform Jiang Qi to camp on the spot and press the formation for Ben. Ben will personally lead 10,000 people to find out! There is one sentence that Yan Liang did not say, if the Nanyang army is weak, he doesn't mind swallowing these 5,000 people in one bite, and he will not understand his hatred.

The spies were ordered to inform the deputy general Jiang Qi, and Yan Liang ordered 10,000 people to continue to move forward.

"Enemy generals ahead, report your name when you go out of the camp!" Yan Liang held the White Tiger Killing Divine Knife in his hand, and rode his horse to shout.

The door of the Nanyang barracks was wide open, and thousands of soldiers swarmed out with hooked shields. He is the first general, holding a spear, majestic and majestic. The guards next to him held a "high" banner.

"Kitakaro will Gao Shun here! He Fangxiao is still not quick to retreat! ”

"Gao Shun?" Yan Liang recalled fiercely, vaguely remembering that he had heard of this name during the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, but he had never heard of it since. Although he is an old man who follows He Xian, he must not have much ability, so he does not have Zhang Liao, Wei Yan and others with outstanding military achievements. Thinking like this, Yan Liang despised Gao Shun and the five thousand hook inlaid soldiers under his command even more.

"I am Yan Liang, the general under the command of the general of the chariot cavalry, and those who know each other hurry up to get out of the way, if not...... Hum! Yan Liang waved the White Tiger Divine Sword in his hand fiercely, and the sound of breaking the sky sounded.

"I have heard for a long time that Jizhou is rich in chariot generals, there is Yuan Shao in the front, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang in the back, I don't know which chariot general you are?" Gao Shun is low-key, which does not mean that Gao Shun is mune. Before setting out, He Xian reminded Gao Shun that Yan Liang was an arrogant person, and if he could speak out, Yan Liang would definitely be deceived.

Sure enough, as soon as Gao Shun said this, Yan Liang was furious. Gao Shun's words were obviously a satire that the Yuan family would only entertain themselves, and the so-called "chariot generals" were not approved by the emperor.

"The thief will be rampant! Do you dare to fight with Yan Liang? ”

Gao Shun said disdainfully: "How can you take advantage of the courage of the horseman in the battlefield battle? The general has ordered me to guard this place with 5,000 men, and if you have the guts, let your horses attack!" ”

After speaking, Gao Shun returned to the formation, closed the formation, and ignored Yan Liang again. This is Chi Guoguo's contempt and provocation.

Who can bear it, who can't bear it! Yan Liang was not a good-tempered person in the first place, seeing this situation, how could he endure it. Immediately organized the elite Euphorbia of Jizhou under his command to launch an attack!

During the Battle of Zhongmu, Yuan's army suffered heavy losses, but the Euphorbia Warriors, as Yuan Shao's Chinese army, retreated and suffered the least losses. Among the 20,000 people under Yan Liang's command, there are 5,000 halberders! Dressed in heavy armor and armed with halberds, they were the kings of the Jizhou infantry. In previous combat experience, heavy infantry against the same amount of light infantry was an absolute crushing situation. Gao Shun's trapping camp is light soldiers, although they have helmets, breastplates, and leggings, but in order to pursue better flexibility, they are not allowed to wear full body armor.

Five thousand halberders rolled neatly towards the trapped, to the beat of the drum. Yan Liang didn't even send the remaining 5,000 light infantry, in his opinion, it was more than enough for the 5,000 halberds to clean up Gao Shun's 5,000 hook inlays.

"Trapped!"

"There is death and no life!"

With Gao Shun's loud shout, the five thousand trapped camp erupted with an earth-shattering roar! The whole formation has been fissioned! Yes, it's fission! The original queue formation became ten small circular formations, each of which was formed in a group of 500 people, independent of each other and supporting each other. Ten small arrays form a plum blossom with nine petals. The first layer is composed of six small arrays, the second layer is composed of three small arrays, and the third layer, that is, the stamen, is the personal guard camp where Gao Shun is located. Five hundred veterans of the trapped camp, holding hook shields, looked indifferently at the approaching halberds, and a trace of fanaticism appeared in the bottom of their cold eyes!

The Euphorbia were a little surprised, they had never seen such a formation before. The fission defense line meant that they broke directly into the middle army along the gap between the various small formations, which was the center of the plum blossom where Gao Shun was located!

"No matter! Even if you kill yourself, there is a place to meet your requirements! "After Yan Liang saw the change in the formation of the trapped camp, he didn't think that such an alien formation could resist the Euphorbia!

"Blow the horn of an all-out attack, and order the Euphorbia to attack the middle army of the Nanyang Army! Kill the enemy general Gao Shun! A hideous look appeared on Yan Liang's face.

After receiving the message sent by Yan Liang from the Chinese army, the Euphorbia did not hesitate to speed up the pace of the attack!

"Die!" The led row of halberd warriors took advantage of the momentum of the advance, swung the halberd in their hands and slashed fiercely at the shield array trapped in the camp. The style of play of the trapped camp was originally somewhat similar to the style of play of the three hundred warriors of Sparta, and after He Xian's suggestion, Gao Shun trained the coordination of the circular formation to the extreme. The hook-inlaid shield was also improved by Gao Shun, with the hooks on both sides being greatly shortened and the shield in the middle greatly enlarged, making it look like a hand shield with hooks on top and bottom. No matter which of the hooked shields the enemy hits on any of them, there will be countless small shields to share the pressure with their comrades! Therefore, the situation where the shield collapsed and the formation was broken as guessed by the halberd warriors did not start.

Without breaking a single blow, these halberders withdrew the heavy halberd in their hands and prepared for a second heavy blow!

"Ahh The halberds in the front row suddenly let out a roar of pain, and then they fell to the ground one after another.

Euphorbia are heavy infantry soldiers, and it is difficult for ordinary swords to break through the armor on their bodies, how did the trapping camp do it?

Yan Liang couldn't see what was wrong on the front line, so he could only sit on Huang Bi and be anxious.

"General, it's their hook! A hook under your feet! ”

With the reminder of the guards, Yan Liang finally saw clearly the way to trap the camp and kill the Euphorbia. All the questions are on the feet! Euphorbia are fully armoured, but the armor can only reach the calf, and the ankles and feet cannot be protected by iron armor, which has become the biggest shortcoming of the Euphorbia and their "Achilles' heel". The circular formation of the trap camp is a three-dimensional formation, divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. The attack of the Euphorbia can only involve the middle and upper two layers, and the heavy armor, the huge halberd, is destined to be their attack only in the middle and upper two layers. For the trapped soldiers who were in charge of the defense underneath, attacking the Euphorbia's ankle became their main task!
